Tile 1881 - 1884

This ceramic tile, created by the J. and J. G. Low Art Tile Works in 1881-1884, features an intricate Celtic knot design. The raised, white glaze creates a stark contrast against the dark tile, emphasizing the intricate details of the woven pattern. This type of tile, known as an "art tile", was popular in the late 19th century and is now held in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The design reflects the Arts and Crafts Movement, which emphasized handcrafted objects with traditional motifs.
